Also the book "Yeast: The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation (Brewing Elements)" provides an excellent guide to using yeast. Describing aspects such as the different flavour components produced by yeasts, up to plating your own yeast samples.
It's amazing how different yeasts can produce radically different flavours. A fun experiment to try is to split the wort (unfermented beer) into different vessels and try different yeasts out. For instance using a hefeweizen yeast, will give clove/banana notes.
